Yesterday was cooler but today we got orange so--80's.
Trugreen showed up. Sprinkled fertilizer beads. Suggested I water. Not in person- he wrote it on the the slip he left on the front door knob. News was not good. Law and Order was not good. Sports Talk TV was baseball......gag. So, I dragged extra hose out and set the Timer and watered as much of the front lawn as I could reach. When the timer went off...I got up off the couch and dragged hose, turned on the water and came back in, washed my hands and back to the couch.
It FILLED the day. I had purchased a loaf of Cinnamon Bread- thinly sliced from the grocery bakery section. It's very good. I had intended to toast and butter it. But it's great just as it comes out of the bag. I defrosted the remainder of the frozen peas and added them to the leftover steamed rice and had that for supper along with a handful of 4 inch carrots that George (the guy who gardens here-infrequently) put on the back deck. I had gone out earlier to cut the one very nice zucchini and give the squash pots extra "blue water".
Long Ago and Far Away- I used to grate the zucchini and salt and let it drain extra juices- them mix up a patty mix and fry patties. It was a lot of Work. Tasty. But not tasty enough to repeat the process years later. Once I turned 70-- I lost my cooking giddy-up.
Agnes and the Hitman- in the housekeeper's back bedroom (!!!) Agnes was VERY ANGRY. I love this book. I have to pick up books I ordered from the bookstore...I should see if Crusie is in Trade Paper.
